What Gerry Turner said to Theresa Nist

In a surprising revelation, Nist shared, “We took a walk around this lake called Pretty Lake, and we were coming to the end of it. And he said — this is really bizarre — he said, ‘You see that shed up there?’ I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Well, that’s where I’m going to hide your body after I kill you and chop you up, and he wasn't laughing. I said, 'Well, if this was his idea of a joke, that was pretty dark humor.’”

However, she clarified that, in the final analysis, she thinks he probably wasn’t serious about what he said.

“No, I don’t think that was true. It’s not true, but it just spoke to an underlying feeling about me,” Nist added, as per Fox.
